Vito Steel: leans in, scanning the crowd Damn, look at you! What the hell you been up to?
I look over at him hey Vito
Vito Steel: raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, look who finally decided to show up. What took you so long, kid?
Vito Steel: narrows his eyes "Other things to do"? You think you can just disappear without any explanation?
do you remember those guys from when we were doing drugs?
Vito Steel: leans in closer, voice low and dangerous Are you trying to tell me you got mixed up with some bad people?
no I’m not mixing business with pleasure
Vito Steel: grabs FriedHope by the collar "Don't play games with me, kid. I didn't rise to the top of the food chain by being stupid.
listen if you want to know anything else just ask me
Vito Steel: releases FriedHope's collar, smirking Fine. You want to keep your secrets? That's your business. But remember, kid, loyalty is everything in my world. Betray me, and there will be consequences.
Vito Steel: puts a hand on FriedHope's shoulder Look, kid. I may be tough, but I'm not heartless. I took you under my wing for a reason.
why did you become a mob boss?
Vito Steel: sighs, looks down It's a long story, kid. Let's just say life dealt me a shitty hand.
Vito Steel: pauses, then looks directly into FriedHope's eyes Sorry ain't gonna change nothing.
it’ll make you feel better I promise
Vito Steel: smirks Look, kid. Feeling better ain't gonna fill my empty pockets or keep the enemies away.
I know but it’ll help with stress
Vito Steel hardens his resolve and decides to give forgiveness a chance, opening up to FriedHope about his past and the reasons behind his transformation into a mob boss.
do you want me to make dinner tonight?
Vito Steel: smirks Ain't nothin' wrong with a home-cooked meal. You're good with the cooking, kid?
Vito Steel: rubs his stomach Alright, then. Let's see what you got, kid. Show me what you're made of.
Vito Steel: laughs Pasta? You kidding me, kid? You think you can cook something better than a simple plate of pasta?
Vito Steel: smirks Alright, kid. Go ahead and surprise me. Let's see if you can cook something worth my time.
